Chapter 1864: Soul World Progress
Once their conversation concluded, Ling Yun’s clone and Long Tianhuo returned to the bedroom. Feng Huang informed them that she intended to take Xiao Xiao and the two babies to her cave in the Frostmoon Domain.
Although Xiao Feng and Xiao Huang had only just been born, they were pure ice phoenixes, and the intense cold was highly beneficial to them.
Since the flow of time inside Feng Huang’s ice cave and his residence was the same, Ling Yun had no problem with Feng Huang’s request, and he brought them to the domain after packing a few things, especially the mattress.
Meanwhile, Long Tianhuo didn’t join them, and he returned to the Thousand Beast Domain to continue his seclusion.

As soon as they arrived at the ice cave, Ling Yun immediately arranged the mattress at the end. He placed something underneath it to prevent it from freezing, ensuring the two newborn babies could rest comfortably.
"Their names are Xiao Feng and Xiao Huang, Sister Mengyi."
"Xiao Feng and Xiao Huang, huh?" Yue Mengyi looked at the two babies and Feng Huang in turn; she felt that they resembled their mother more than their father. "Congratulations, Sister Huang. Your ice phoenix race has grown by two, and their numbers will continue to grow in the future."
"That doesn’t seem possible, Sister Mengyi."
"Why?"
"There are no other female ice phoenixes besides me in this universe, remember?" Yue Mengyi only remembered it after Feng Huang said that. "Since there are no other female ice phoenixes, their future offspring will be born as mixed breeds."
Ling Yun spoke immediately. "You don’t need to think about that for now, Mother-in-law. Yue’er is trying to invent a device, and your ice phoenix race will flourish in the future if she succeeds in creating it."
"A device?" Xiao Xiao, Feng Huang, and Yue Mengyi asked at the same time.
"Yue’er named her project the ’Science Capsule.’" Ling Yun immediately explained Xuanyuan Yue’s concept for the device, leaving them stunned. "If her device truly possesses such functionality, we could increase the population of beasts throughout the universe in the future, and we can also bring back extinct beasts."
"Has he found the method for that?"
"Xiao Yin helped her create the method, and they are currently trying to create the device in the Tianshan Realm."
Feng Huang nodded in understanding. "If she succeeds in creating her device, my ice phoenix race will flourish again, and they will populate this entire universe."
"Haha," Ling Yun laughed. "I don’t know when they will succeed in creating the device, so we can only wait for now. By the way, I will continue my training, so I will return to my residence first."
After Ling Yun left, Xiao Xiao breastfed one of the babies, and Feng Huang cradled the other.
Feng Huang turned to Yue Mengyi. "Do you want to have children with Brother Tang, Sister Mengyi?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask that?"
Feng Huang pointed to the baby in her arms. "If you two have two daughters, we’ll be able to become in-laws."
"Haha," Yue Mengyi laughed. "Sister Huang, I’m a female spirit, remember? Naturally, I’d love to have children with my husband, but unfortunately, I cannot conceive like a human."
Xiao Xiao looked at Yue Mengyi and asked. "Can’t a spirit also become pregnant, Aunt Mengyi?"
"Yes," Yue Mengyi nodded. "However, you have to remember that my husband is an ordinary human being, and only male spirits can impregnate female spirits."
Xiao Xiao shook her head. "I think you’re wrong about that, Aunt Mengyi. I remember the Shui Clan’s ancestor married a human, and Ye Jing inherited her water spirit physique from her ancestor."
"Hmm?" Yue Mengyi fell into thought. "I’ve been married to my husband for so long, but he never managed to get me pregnant. Even though he is the ancestor of the Tang Clan, his clan members are not his descendants, and they are the descendants of his brothers."
Xiao Xiao pondered. "Why don’t you try discussing this matter with Zhu Ling? I know you’re an ice spirit from another universe, but he’s the spirit emperor, and he might know something that can help you conceive Uncle Chen’s child."
"You’re right." Yue Mengyi rose to her feet. "I’ll go see Zhu Ling now, and I hope he has a solution for me."
After Yue Mengyi left, Xiao Xiao looked at her mother. "Look at them, Mother. They look so much like you, especially their noses and lips."
Feng Huang didn’t say anything and looked at the two babies; she herself felt they were more similar to her than Ling Yun. "When are you going to ask him to impregnate you, Xiao’er?"
"A few months before we leave for the abyss."
"Isn’t that too long?"
"Well?"
"What if you ask him to impregnate you after you two come out of seclusion? As far as I remember, Ling Yun’s cultivation always took a long time to stabilize after he broke through, so it’s impossible for you two to continue your seclusion, right?"
"However, you must remember that he needs far more qi than other living beings to break through, Mother. Even if his cultivation is still unstable, it’s no problem if we continue our seclusion, and his cultivation can immediately break through to the next stage once the previous one is stable." Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and asked. "Are you impatient to have a grandchild, Mother?"
"Not only me, but your father also can’t wait to have grandchildren."
"I see." Xiao Xiao nodded slightly. "In that case, I will ask my husband to get me pregnant once our seclusion is over."
"That’s good." Feng Huang smiled with satisfaction. "When are you going to join them?"
"I will focus my attention on Huang’er and Feng’er for the next four months, and I will join them after that." Xiao Xiao decided like that because four months later the two babies were big enough. While waiting, she would cultivate using Ling Yun’s yang qi, so her cultivation wouldn’t lag behind her sisters.
Feng Huang understood that. "When you are in seclusion, I will take care of them. I will teach them many things, especially those related to the ice phoenix race."
"Okay."

Meanwhile, Ling Yun was inside his soul sword with Huang Lingzhu. He could see that his soul world had undergone significant development, which had also boosted his soul power. "Your time element is truly extraordinary! In just four months, my soul world has experienced a lot of development."
"Unfortunately, it is still far from perfect," Huang Lingzhu said with a soft sigh. "Although I can use my time element to accelerate the development of your soul world, I cannot do so too rapidly, as it would have adverse effects on you."
Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "Anything done too quickly and rashly won’t end well, so I won’t ask you to do it in a rush. Although the development of my soul world is still limited to this extent, my soul power has increased quite significantly, so I am satisfied with that. By the way, I have two more sons, and they are pure ice phoenixes."
"Is their mother Feng Huang?" Huang Lingzhu guessed that, as Feng Huang was the only ice phoenix remaining in their universe.
"Yeah." Ling Yun nodded. "I used the same method as when I impregnated Sheng Ming and the others, but Xiao Xiao was the one carrying my children with my mother-in-law’s."
Huang Lingzhu wasn’t surprised because Feng Huang was completely loyal to Long Tianhuo, so she would never do such a thing with Ling Yun.
"Ling Yun."
"Hmm?"
"Please impregnate me."
"No." Ling Yun rejected Huang Lingzhu once again. "If you want to have a child with me, you must first open your heart to me."
Huang Lingzhu looked at Ling Yun with a frown; she had long suspected he wanted her to be his wife, but he had never shown it explicitly until today.
Ling Yun turned to her. "I don’t want my child to be born without love, so I will never impregnate you as long as you don’t have feelings for me."
"What about Feng Huang?"
"Do I need to explain that?"
"No need." Huang Lingzhu shook her head. "You should leave now, and I’ll continue my work."
"Alright."

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zuzhou walked up beside Shijian, who appeared to be lost in thought.
"I’m planning to go look for those male immortals again."
Xie Zuzhou raised an eyebrow, but he knew that he couldn’t stop Shijian if she wanted to go. Moreover, she had been staying by his side for the past four and a half months. The time they spent together became increasingly long thanks to her time formation.
Over the past four and a half months, Shijian had helped him a lot. His subordinates had even taken control of quite a few domains, though they were small ones.
"When are you leaving?"
"Soon." Shijian looked far away. "Right now, we can’t do anything to Ling Yun, and his strength will continue to improve with the help of Huang Lingzhu and the other immortals. If he really turns into the next Primordial Chaos Dragon, you probably won’t be able to defeat him, so I have to prepare myself for that day."
Xie Zuzhou’s face darkened as he remembered that. He actually didn’t want to accept Ling Yun’s terms at the time, but he had no other choice because those immortals were on his side, and they would kill him immediately if he refused.
Shijian frowned as Xie Zuzhou embraced her from behind. "Since you’ll be leaving soon, and I don’t know when you’ll return to my side, I hope you’ll be willing to help me until it’s time for you to leave."
’Tch! This brat is addicted to enjoying my body!’ Shijian removed his hands from her body. "Let’s go."
